New Ulster Townland Atlas Under Way

[gaffy]

I'm watching this one (link below) with interest, for I've lost count of the times when I've encountered something that looks like a townland (eg. in the likes of the Tithe Applotment Books), but the name or anything that it could be isn't obvious in the OS based documentation of the 19th century. The more general 'place name' project from some years back based in Belfast's Queen’s University was a help, but still left lots of gaps in our knowledge of Ulster townlands.  With work on the atlas being based on the 17th century - and research covering further back again -  I'm hoping it and the supporting information will address at least some of the gaps, in terms of previous townland names, townlands absorbed into others, etc.
